These polymers can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds which greatly enhance crystallite stability.

Isotactic polymers are usually semicrystalline and often form a helix configuration.

A solid polymer forms the electrolyte - that is, the material through which charged particles migrate to create an electric current.

The polymers can form amorphous and semicrystalline structures (can also have different glass transition temperatures), affecting the membrane performance characteristics.

The polymers she had been working with at the time, poly-p-Phenylene-terephthalate and polybenzamide, formed liquid crystal while in solution, something unique to those polymers at the time.

Some polymers can form hydrogen bonds between the chains, forming pseudo-cross-links strengthening the polymer.

Adsorbed or grafted polymers may form a protective layer around the particles, induce steric repulsive forces, and lead to steric stabilization.

These polymers form weak bonds with the substrate to allow for easy removal.

When allowed to cool slowly, the molten polymer forms a more crystalline material.

These polymers, based on methacrylate chemistry, have high molecular weights and therefore form very stable coatings owing to their multipoint attachment.
